You can also do this with a non rooted phone as well.
Follow all steps up until iFont.
Don't use iFont.
Download HiFont
Download .tff file and paste it into HiFont directory.
Go to My Fonts in HiFont, click scan.
Click your font then follow the on screen instructions to complete

if your handwriting doesn't look like natural writing :rolleyes:. print the template at a smaller size and fill it out (this way you can write smaller and also with a thinner pen ;)), since the actual size is not that relevant for the scan.
